Auditors Can't Find Property Managed by Halliburton in Iraq

WASHINGTON — A third or more of the government property Halliburton Co. search) was paid to manage for the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq could not be located by auditors, investigative reports to Congress show.

Halliburton's KBR (search) subsidiary "did not effectively manage government property" and auditors could not locate hundreds of CPA items worth millions of dollars in Iraq and Kuwait this summer and fall, Inspector General Stuart W. Bowen (search) reported to Congress in two reports.

Bowen's findings mark the latest bad news for Vice President Dick Cheney's (search) former company, which is the focus of both a criminal investigation into alleged fuel price gouging and an FBI inquiry into possible favoritism from the Bush administration.

The fact that the "oil-for-food" "scandal" is such a big deal to the right-wingers, but this is dismissable is amazing! Why is the fact that our VP had business dealings with Iraq even while sanctions were in place is ok, but a relative of the head of the UN doing similar things causes an uproar? Hypocrisy knows no bounds, I suppose!
